Hi Esteema

Which school briefing is this? Wondering if the process is the same for all schools.

Detail process may differ, but the timeline is all standardized.

31 Aug DSA results

31 Aug - 30 Oct Issuance of Option Forms

30 Oct Option Forms deadline

30 Oct - 3 Nov Formal DSA Registration

After 3 Nov - Confirmed successful DSA candidates will not participate in S1 posting, whilst all other P6 will select sec sch in S1 posting.

Congrats, all, with COs and WLs from MGS

Regarding RI sports domain CO. School is very responsible that they called the parents to make sure they will take the offer before they send them CO letter. There’s at least one parent rejected. So the CO is given to another student.

Unfortunately I have also heard of cases where parents said yes yes on the phone but ended up going to another school after receiving the CO letter. Nothing is concrete until you submit the option form. I feel for the schools and those on WL.

So for this, DS and us have decided to make a decision before 31st Aug so that kids on the WL can get a chance to be confirmed early.

LOVE this! We have personally encountered school reps who have told us that some will say that they will take up the CO, and who changed their mind in the end. Resulting in the school having fewer students in that particular domain than they have space for. (This is coming from the school rep themselves, don't scream at me pls) I think this is counter productive - a child who has talent on strong insterest in that domain could have benefitted from it. JMHO.

There was at least one parent who honestly turned down the offer.
Thank you for your thoughtful decision.
